An Open-Label, Randomized, 2-Arm Parallel Study Comparing the Efficacy, Ease of Use, and Safety of PDS Plated Cartilagenous Grafting Versus Non-Plated Cartilagenous Grafting as Performed Through Endonasal Rhinoplasty
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Polydioxanone (PDS) plates and Caudal septal extension graft performed through endonasal rhinoplasty for Rhinoplasty. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy, safety, and ease of cartilaginous grafting using polydioxanone (PDS) plates in comparison to non-plated cartilaginous grafts as performed through an endonasal rhinoplasty approach in patients requiring a caudal septal extension (CSE) graft.

Timeline
Interventions
0.5 mm PDS Flexible Plate made of poly-p-dioxanone, an aliphatic polyester which is manufactured by polymerization of the monomer p-dioxanone. Polydioxanone is a resorbable material degraded by hydrolysis and has been successfully used for bone discontinuities and septal reconstruction.
The caudal septal extension (CSE) graft is a common method used to alter tip projection, alar-columellar relationship, and nasolabial angle.5 However, it can be difficult to stabilize and straighten the CSE graft, especially when performed through an endonasal approach. Use of a polydioxanone plate would provide a scaffolding for the CSE graft and could allow for a technically easier and more predictable surgical procedure.
